Dad has been talking about switching internet providers fro some time. He says that he is going to make the change today or tomorrow. They (at &t), who will be the new provider, say that it will take a week to clear the lines and have our new service start. This horrifies me. How can we be without service for a week! And in this internet age, how can it take so long? I am hoping that it won't take that long.
The new service is supposed to be faster and cost less than the current service.
Anyway. I wanted to give you a head's up. You may be like Brandon driving around Newport looking for a hot spot..

but good to know.
now if you guys could just get rid of the cars. you have no idea how much anxiety involves me in a parents die tragically scenario and then i have no idea what to do with them. and i want to keep the mustang and finally learn to drive stick but i don't know what is wrong with the engines or all the parts and i just cry a lot and plant things in it.

You'll take to stick like a duck to water. Just be sure you've eaten. Dad is close to having the green beast running. The engine on your brother's mustang is fine. just needs tuning, engine on mine is tired and Dad is planning on rebuilding it. If you find yourself suddenly orphaned, I'll tell Dad's ghost to tell you what for on the cars... it will be fine.
----good. cuz you know how i worry.
if we could get that all resolved before hand that would be great.

with that company, it probably will take that long! remember all the hassle i went through with them? good gravy.
on saturday we can go to panera for lunch again and you can use their free wifi. : )
Clear the lines? Is it plumbing?!
I heart your mom.
Thank you Pen, I heart you.
Update. Now they say that the connection will go down on Monday and be back on Tuesday. I am flumoxed how electricity carrying lines need to be cleared.
i'm telling you, they are the devil! you're playing with sulfurous fire! i almost NEVER had a signal with them... you know the whole story, right? ugh. they are ineffecient and have horrible customer service. be prepared for everthing they do to make absolutely no sense at all. :p
I have to concur with Sarah. . and I'm on the opposite coast, so it's clearly a company-wide issue.
AT&T.. They said Tuesday, but it's Thursday. But it is good.
